REMEMBERING MONEY as we recall pennies from heaven, ten cents a dance, a million dollar baby and a dollar-a-year man. It’s what makes the world go ‘round and we have lots of records and recollections with the McGuire Sisters, Bing Crosby, Ruth Etting, Tony Martin, the Ames Brothers and many others.
